BOAT HOLDINGS, LLC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of business: Boat Holdings, LLC is a holding company. Boat Holdings, LLC and Subsidiaries is collectively referred to as the “Company” in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Pontoon Boat, LLC d/b/a Bennington, is primarily engaged in the manufacture and marketing of pontoon boats for sale via its dealership network throughout the United States and Canada under the name “Bennington”, generally under terms of floorplan arrangements that are typical in the marine business. Bennington also sells optional equipment and replacement parts to its dealers.
Highwater Marine, LLC is primarily engaged in the manufacture of boats, including recreational cruisers, pontoons, deck boats and cuddys/bowriders for sale via its dealership network throughout the United States and Canada under the names “Rinker”, “Godfrey”, and “Hurricane” respectively, generally under terms of floorplan arrangements that are typical in the marine business. Highwater Marine, LLC also sells optional equipment and replacement parts to its dealers.
Pontoon Boat Disc Corporation and Pontoon-Highwater Disc Partners, LLC are interest charge domestic international sales corporations.
Marine Realty, LLC is a real estate company that leases real estate to Pontoon Boat, LLC d/b/a Bennington.
Reporting entity and principles of consolidation: The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Boat Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Pontoon Boat, LLC d/b/a Bennington, Pontoon Boat Disc Corporation, Pontoon-Highwater Disc Partners, LLC, a 90 percent owned subsidiary, Highwater Marine, LLC, and an affiliate, Marine Realty, LLC, collectively referred to as the Company.
Marine Realty, LLC exists for the sole purpose of leasing real estate to Pontoon Boat, LLC d/b/a Bennington and requires the financial support of Pontoon Boat, LLC d/b/a Bennington through lease agreements. Marine Realty, LLC does not have the right to receive the expected residual returns as all lease payments received are used for debt service costs. Management has determined that this relationship represents variable interests in Marine Realty, LLC. Pontoon Boat, LLC d/b/a Bennington is the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity (“VIE”) which requires Marine Realty, LLC to be consolidated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, the financial statements of Marine Realty, LLC have been included in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between Holdings and subsidiaries and affiliates have been eliminated in consolidation.
Noncontrolling interest: Noncontrolling interest represents the portion of equity in Highwater Marine, LLC and in Marine Realty, LLC not attributable, directly or indirectly, to Holdings. The profit or loss derived from the noncontrolling interest in the performance of Highwater Marine, LLC and Marine Realty, LLC is allocated to the net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest in the 2018 and 2017 unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income.
Basis of presentation: The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Boat Holdings, LLC and Subsidiaries and Affiliate have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial statements and, therefore, do not include all information and disclosures of results of operations, financial position and changes in cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. Accordingly, such statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. In the opinion of management, such statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Due to the seasonality trends for certain products and to certain changes in production and shipping cycles, results of such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the complete year.
Subsequent events: The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through August 31, 2018, the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.
On July 2, 2018, the Company was acquired by Polaris Industries, Inc. valued at a net present value of approximately $805,000,000.

Note 6. Warranties
The Company provides a limited warranty for its products. The Company's standard warranties require the Company or its dealers to repair or replace defective products during such warranty period at no cost to the consumer. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its basic limited warranty and records a liability for costs at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors that affect the Company's warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and cost per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary. The Company utilizes historical trends to assist in determining the appropriate expense accrual.
Changes in the Company's accrued warranty liability during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017 is as follows:

Note 10. Variable Interest Entity
Boat Holdings is the primary beneficiary of and consolidates a related party (Marine Realty, LLC) that is a variable interest entity (VIE). Marine Realty does not have the right to receive the expected residual returns as all lease payments received are used for the debt service costs. Through the lease agreements, Boat Holdings controls the significant activities of the VIE.
The total amount of the VIE’s borrowings was approximately $2,038,000 as of March 31, 2018. The total carrying value of Marine Realty’s assets is approximately $6,355,000 at March 31, 2018. In the event Marine Realty is unable to satisfy its obligations, the value of the assets pledged on the bank debt would be available to liquidate and recover some or all of the amounts paid.
Under the terms of the lease agreements with the VIE, Boat Holdings is required to make monthly payments currently approximating $64,000 to the VIE. The leases expire at various dates over the next five years and are subject to voluntary renewal periods. In addition, the Company is required to pay for property taxes, insurance and maintenance on the related property.

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies
Repurchase agreements: In connection with the wholesale floorplan financing of boats, the Company has entered into repurchase agreements with lending institutions. The repurchase commitment is on an individual unit basis with a term from the date it is financed by the lending institutions through payment date by the dealer, generally not exceeding 900 days. The outstanding obligation under this agreement was approximately $201,000,000 at March 31, 2018. Such agreements are customary in the industry and the Company’s exposure to loss under such agreements is limited by the resale value of the inventory and related costs to sell the unit, which is required to be repurchased.
The reserve methodology used to record an estimated expense and loss reserve in each accounting period is based upon the Company’s repurchase history. Subsequent to the inception of the repurchase commitment, the Company evaluates the likelihood of repurchase and adjusts the estimated loss reserve and related income statement account accordingly. Potential increases in losses may result from any market difficulties in the marine industry. If the Company were obligated to repurchase a significant number of units under any repurchase agreement, its business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected. At March 31, 2018, the Company determined that no reserve was necessary related to these agreements.
Inventory purchase commitment: On June 23, 2017, the Company entered into a ten year purchase commitment with an engine manufacturer, whereby the Company makes variable annual purchase commitments which determine the Company’s engine discount percentage. Additionally, the Company is subject to an aggregate minimum purchase commitment over the life of the agreement. If the minimum purchase amount in any given year is not met, the Company is subjected to a 1 percent shortfall penalty, whereby the penalty is withheld from future discounts to the extent available. If no funds are available, the Company is required to remit payment within 60 days of the shortfall. The Company has committed to purchase volume between $50,000,000 and $125,000,000 during the first year of the agreement. The agreement also contains a provision allowing the Company to terminate the agreement at any time. In the event the Company exercises this option, the Company is required to pay a 3.5 percent shortfall penalty on the aggregate ten year commitment. In connection with the sale of assets utilized to manufacture boat furnishings in January 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with the buyer whereby the Company committed to purchase a minimum amount of goods and services used in the Company’s normal operations for an initial term of five years. The total future minimum purchase obligation over the term of the agreement is approximately $122,102,000. If the minimum purchase amount over the period of the agreement is not met, the Company is required to remit a payment to the buyer equal to 10 percent of the shortfall within 30 days after the date of expiration of the agreement. The agreement does include a clause stating if industry retail sales decrease by certain stated percentages in the agreement over the 5 year period, the Company will be granted additional years to meet the aggregate purchase commitment as defined in the agreement.
